No this, Rolls doesn't see dead people. It's a Ghost that sees
people wrapped in even more bespoke richness than the usual
uber-sedan.

Or, as Rolls-Royce puts it in
inimitably over-the-top fashion, Ghost Six Senses Concept is "a
highly-bespoke luxury model that
encapsulates the richness of experience that comes as standard
with any Rolls-Royce and takes it to a new level of sensory
indulgence."

Because there's not enough sensory indulgence in a standard
Ghost. Or something like that.

Whatever the reason, however, the Six Senses Concept is
undeniably luxurious, seeking to entertain all of the five
sensory organs while providing a Rolls-born sixth that it sucks
from the souls of its craftspeople--because after all, anyone can
own a car; few can own the souls of those that made it.

So how does it engage the senses? For sight, the concept is
painted in Carrara White pearl, wearing unique forged alloy
wheels, coach doors, Walnut Burr veneer interior trim, and other
bespoke touches to the cabin. Sound is evoked with a concept
audio system with a set of special "exciter" speakers in the
headliner. Aroma comes from the rich scent of the leather, and
the "woody spice" of the walnut veneer. Taste is from the drink's
compartment, where champagne can be cooled, then served with the
included flutes. Finally, the sense of touch is stimulated with
the textures of the materials, including lambswool rugs and a
lambswool trunk liner, the supple leathers, and the sleek chromes
and woods.

The Rolls-Royce Ghost Six Senses Concept is on display at the
2012 Beijing Auto Show, and while it's not headed to
production--which is the eternal foe of bespoke, after all--it
does offer a look at what a well-heeled Ghost buyer might have
done for their own car.
